Haven't upadated lately. I've been feeding the bees some (although I probably should have been feeding more). The goldenrod is blooming like crazy and the entrances are very yellow, so I assume they're bringing in lots of pollen.
The 10-frame hive isn't doing so well. I think it may have gotten robbed out before I got the screens on. There are lots of bees in it, but no honey and I didn't see any brood. I tried putting a new queen in (I ordered it from WT Kelley, and it came in the mail) there a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't looked into it lately. Maybe tomorrow I'll get inside and see what's going on. The other hives are doing ok, with one doing extremely well, judging from the weight.
It's going to be time to get serious about winter soon. The daytime highs have been in the 80s lately, and this next week is going to be high 70s maybe 80. So cool weather is right around the corner.
